Question

In an examination, it is necessary for a student to get 40% of the marks to pass. If a student gets 322 marks in the examination and fails by 18 marks, find the maximum marks in the examination.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 850

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the 18 onto the student's score to find the minimum score possible to pass.

322 + 18 = 340

Next, you find the maximum marks in the examination. x represents the maximum marks.

0.4 * x = 340

x = 340/0.4

x = 850
